THIS SITE ...
... features the art, writings, and activism of Barbara Ker-Mann, as well as selected art by emerging artistis in chigirie. I hope you will enjoy exploring the various art forms including the books and poems.
It's Barbara now: When James offered to compose this website for me, I felt good about it. It reminds me of an early poem in which I expressed how good it is to be put into a shape that pulls my threads together to make some sense - The Russian Doll.

RUSSIAN DOLL
I have a Russian Doll
And it is like this:
There is a wooden doll
inside a wooden doll
inside a wooden doll
inside a wooden doll
Exactly like the largest doll
Each has a painted dolly face
I look at myself
And I am like this:
There is a person
within a person
within a person
within a person
Quite unlike the outside person
each has a different person face
